👋 Hi Fediverse! I'm Timo. I got tired of watch party extensions tracking data and forcing accounts, so I built an alternative: 🐨 KoalaSync.

It's a 100% free, privacy-first browser extension. No tracking, zero accounts needed. Just create a room, share the link and watch perfectly in sync. Works seamlessly with YouTube, Netflix, Emby, Jellyfin & any HTML5 video. Fully open source (MIT).

I created JellyWatch Hub to help people discover Jellyfin and self hosted media plugins, apps and tools in one place.

You can explore community projects, submit your own plugin, and request new integrations or additions.

The goal is to centralize the ecosystem and make discovery easier for everyone.

Hey!
I’ve been working on the Jellywatch HUB, a directory focused on the Jellyfin-Emby ecosystem and self-hosted media tools.

The Hub now contains 250+ curated items.

The goal is to make discovery easier instead of digging through old Reddit posts, GitHub repos or random forum threads.

If you're building a plugin, app, theme or self-hosted tool for the ecosystem, feel free to submit it to the Hub and share it with the community!

New post: Plex triples its lifetime pass price to $750. I also take a look at Plex alternatives, such as Jellyfin.
